ALPSImpulsePack 900ALPS OutdoorZ Impulse Pack. Can your pack make you a better hunter? It can if it’s designed to be as stealthy quiet as possible, with a unique stand-up design built for easier access in cramped ground blinds and treestands. We’re talking the new whitetail-focused and ultra-versatile Impulse ($149.99; 5 lbs. 4 oz., 30L/1,850 cu. inches), which comes wrapped in DeadQuiet fleece (Realtree Edge camo)

8 Great Rigs For Bowhunting Turkeys In 2021

designed to help deaden sound upon contact with brush, making it ideal for still hunting. A smart waterproof membrane protects contents from moisture and prevents “waterlogging” in snowy or rainy conditions. Further enhancing silence is a zipperless main compartment lid that instead uses strong magnets and an aluminum hook closure, and allows for quick, silent opening. The unique stand-upright design delivers easy access while reducing the pack’s footprint in a blind or on a treestand, and a drop-down bow or gun carry pocket helps lighten your load when covering ground.TenzingHangtime 9900Tenzing Hangtime Day Pack. Whitetails watch out.

Store lunch and an extra layer in the 750 cubic inches inside the large main compartment, and react quickly with easy one-handed access through the front or top. Specialized storage space is plentiful for every piece of hunting gear imaginable: from specialized optics and game call pockets, to quiver attachment points and a removable bow carrier.ALPSCovertPack 900ALPS OutdoorZ Covert Pack. Sleek. Stealthy. That’s the new Covert ($59.99), a lumbar-style pack designed to carry hunt essentials but won’t weigh you down whether you’re going in deep or focused on keeping things simple. The main compartment with internal pockets that include a clear smartphone pocket works great for avid whitetail hunters; you’ll also find a hidden, expandable, hand warmer pocket as well as side storage and water bottle pockets.

Pack attachment is made easy with multi-attach MOLLE options to PALS web, a shoulder pad, bino harness, or to a belt. Available in Black, Foliage or Coyote.BlackhawkCyane 900Blackhawk Cyane Dynamic Pack. Make no mistake, this multi-featured tactical-inspired design ($163.45) also doubles as a versatile hunt pack. With a full 2,000 cubic inches of storage able to handle everything from a day in the whitetail woods to day hunts in the elk mountains, this smart, low-profile design offers the option of durable, lightweight 500 denier ripstop (solid colors) or Cordura (Multicam, shown) nylon.
